Book Review of The God of Small Things

The God of Small Things
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


This novel won the Booker Prize for Novel of the Year in England. Set in India, it is a lush and sultry tale of post-colonial pains and the growing pains of children in an affluent Anglo-Indian household, as well as the continuing power of the caste system... and the price paid by two lovers who ignore the division society imposes on them.
